Wheel and Tire Replacement
8000 SRM 707
Install Two-Piece Wheel in Tire
STEP 1.
Install inner tube and rubber flap in tire. Install both
halves of wheel rim in tire. Make sure stem of inner
tube is aligned with slot in rim.
STEP 2.
Tighten nuts that hold rim halves together to
175 N•m (130 lbf ft). Add air pressure to tire (see
nameplate).
ADD AIR TO PNEUMATIC TIRES
WARNING
Add air pressure to the tires only in a safety
cage. Inspect the safety cage for damage before
use. When air pressure is added, use a chuck
that fastens onto the valve stem of the inner
tube. Make sure there is enough hose to permit
the operator to stand away from the safety cage
when air pressure is added to the tire.
Do not sit or stand by the safety cage. Do not
use a hammer to try and correct the position of
the side flange or lock ring when the tire has
air pressure greater than 20 kPa (3 psi).
1.
Put tire in a safety cage.
2.
Add 20 kPa (3 psi) of air pressure to tire. See
Figure 47.
3.
Check that all wheel parts are correctly installed.
Hit lock ring lightly to make sure it is in the seat.
4.
If installation is correct, add air pressure to tire
to the specified pressure.
5.
Check that all wheel parts are correctly installed.
If installation is not correct, remove all air pres-
sure from tire. Remove valve core to make sure
all air pressure has been removed and then make
adjustments. The clearance at the ends of the
lock ring will be approximately 13 to 25 mm (0.5
to 1.0 in.) when the tire has the correct air pres-
sure.
